It does load the generic table's metadata, which is whatever metadata was registered in the catalog during createGenericTable. This is very similar to the behavior of, say, the HMS's `getTable`. Actually cracking open the metadata.json and returning its contents in the IRC is the exception, not the rule. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
